The reason Inkscape extensions don't work by just loading the standard Puppy PET is because they require Python, and Python libraries lxml (aka libxml) and numpy (aka ?).

This can be resolved by one of the following methods-

Option 1. Load python-2.6-lxmlnumpy-cut-i486.pet - This Pet includes all the parts of Python required to run the extensions. It is made by cutting down the Python from Slacko's devx. To install, download and run.
-This method works on Slacko 5.3.1, Slacko 5.6, Puppy 5.29 3-headed-dog and Polarpup 005.

Option 2. Load the appropriate developer devx.sfs - Many devx packages include Python 2.6 and the required libraries (though I couldn't understand exactly where lxml, numpy are derived from, maybe an include?).
-This works for Slacko 5.3.1 and Wary, but NOT Slacko 5.6 or Polarpup 005. Thanks to vtpup for finding this out.

A great feature in Inkscape is to be able to select vectors that are fully covered by ones above. This involves alt-clicking - which is already taken (by default) puppy and in JWM can't be reconfigured A work around is to use OpenBox window manager and config its mouse bindings see-

I can not get any of Inkscape's extensions to work in Puppy. If I run Puppy the terminal it reveals the following error...

if I select 'Extensions > Render > Barcode', enter number and click apply.

I quick message box saying 'Barcode is processing' pops up and vanishes, nothing is done in inkscape, the above message is return in the terminal.

This happens with every extension I have tried. I've tried a few versions of 0.47 and 0.48 to the same effect (using Puppy 5.2. Any suggestions or help appreciated....

Don't know if this is relevant but I installed Inkscape .48 from PPM in Racy Puppy 5.2.1.90 only to find that it won't open .WMF (Windows Media File) files. have been unable to figure out how to open those files in Racy Puppy as yet. Here's the thread about it.

There are a few such converters floating around, including wmf2png, wmf2svg and wmf2x (for display). They basically work and I have used them. Thanks for the link above. I compiled the 4 progs that make up this package in Lucid and made a pet. They are command-line progs and seem to work. I tested on a few wmf files. have fun.
